"For" used in those sentences
Hello everyone.
I would like to ask a question about the structure of the following sentences.
"For" is sometimes used to take a reference, or mean "from the perspective of" and they are adverbial phrases.
For example,
He is playing very well for his age.
This is the most acceptable idea for me.
In these kinds of sentences, can we relocate "for" somewhere else?
For his age, he is playing/doing well.
For me, this is the most acceptable idea.
For my family, that was the most beautiful house which they could buy at that time.
Are they possible? Thank you.
